The purpose of this book is to give a coherent account of the
different perspectives on science and technology that are normally
studied under various disciplinary heads such as philosophy of
science, sociology of science and science policy. It is intended
for students embarking on courses in these subjects and assumes no
special knowledge of any science. It is written in a direct and
simple style, and technical language is introduced very sparingly.
As various perspectives are sketched out in this book, the reader
moves towards a consistent conception of contemporary science as a
rapidly changing social institution that has already grown out of
its traditional forms and plays a central role in society at large.
It will appeal to students in a wide range of scientific
disciplines and complement well Professor Ziman's earlier books.
